Re: Install LXDE on XFCE...

Open synaptic, type lxde in the search bar, it ought to show up a list of packets, some of which are the minimum to get an lxde desktop. It worked for me, i'll test it again in a minute, i'm on live cd at the moment

I did this with lxde and kde on the same 11.04 system (now with 4 fairly happy DEs to choose from on login) so it should be ok

Re: Install LXDE on XFCE...

In Synaptic choose "LXDE" and install it (it requires a few things, but it won't install major applications like a web browser and all that. You'll get a file manager (PCManFM - very nice, still my favorite), LXSession manager, LXpanel, etc.
